[Notes]
Uncle John Patterson, the "Banjo King," picks old-timey tunes in a truly unique style that seems designed to lift spirits and get feet moving. Uncle John won his first banjo championship at the age of 14 and successfully defended his title at every convention he entered thereafter. His early adult years were spent sharecropping. For 20 years he was a hydraulic and plumbing mechanic at Lockheed, where he invented a tool for injecting hydraulic fluid into B 47s which is reported to have saved Lockheed $350,000 a year. An oldtime populist politician, and a gregarious one, he was Carrollton's State Representative to the Georgia Legislature from 1968 to 1974.
